A little reality check on general botting scene in Valkyrie

[RobotChicken]

Half of you on this post are ignorant and the other half are jumping to conclusion. As for the father of this thread, yes Gravity is hell-bent on bots, you better believe it. What we're doing isn't right so don't complain that someone's trying to clean the streets. The IP traces don't exist, they can't ban a family household because one foul sibbling is doing wrong. The only way the can chain-ban you is from item and trade logs, or you getting items from your bots. Half the people transferring are quite arrogant not thinking of being traced, resulting in bans and more useless threads.

As for the "Bloody Branches" and "DB" argument, you're all pretty dumb on that fact. GM's DO spawn things on maps, and the Thara Frog incident is going to be the first of many. GM Kross was at Comodo, and instead of banning bots on sight he spawned MVP's all over the maps. This BS guy running around, not sure who started it but just because you saw some random guy DB a map once or twice doesn't mean he's the "Anti-Bot Super Hero".

Please stop making useless comments on a thread for a rather serious question. All the talk you've all been doing for two weeks was put to bed in 2 minutes, so rationalize with yourself and either talk in the off-topic section or somewhere else.

Thanks.
Although I was expecting the scene to be exactly like you described (coz I have always seen the same things happen in inRO), the way you put it makes it easier to be understood by other readers too.

As a matter of fact, the DB-spamming BS has to be a one-time thing and in truth, GMs must have done it, coz that's what used to happen earlier too. I am not complaining about it, coz I know this is not the honest way to play the game.
But who are we kidding, everyone bots. Those who accept it, are either too straight forward or too pretentious to show off that they care for shit...

Either way, what I wanted to know, has been answered. Thanks one and all.

Anyways, that "bot-killer" DBs, BBs and summons are plain retarded. That doesn't annoy bots, a computer can't be annoyed, but it's pretty disgusting when you're a "normal player" (a.k.a. playing by yourself) and try to go somewhere "innocently".

I mean, if a bot dies 30 times it will come back 30 times to the map without giving a damn because it's just programmed for that. Even more, you can make an easy macro or config to make it change block map when some weird stuff happens, like dying too often and when there are rare enemies for the map you wanted. When you come watch how's your macro doing, maybe you notice he didn't get too much exp, but that's all.

If, in the other hand, you're a n00b that want to go to do the Acolyte quest in the other side of the Prontera fields and you find a High Wizard Katrinn, a Deviling and a Mutant Dragonoid 3 times each in the way, that makes impossible to play, and ONLY to "normal players".

In my opinion, people that does that, GMs included, are stupid and don't care about messing with "legal" players. As Blunderbore said, I'm not talking about myself with my bot because I know it's not legal, but I don't see any reason apart than getting bored and annoying people.

I'm not sure if GM's are quit as hell bent on banning bots as we all think. Maybe I'm just being naive or ignorant or whatever like someone else said, but a great portion of the economy depends on bots, especially on Valkryie. The GM's HAVE to have realized this. 'Cause honestly, banning bots doesn't really seem like too hard a job. And why would a GM (if it was one, I really don't know) spawn a bunch of MVP's as opposed to just banning us? That's like saying "We know you're botting, but instead of banning you we're just gonna slow you down for a bit."

I think the GM's actually gave up on this server lol. I have been running massive amounts of bots (20+) for months now and there fine lol.

Lol thats cool I've been running a few for a couple of weeks and I haven't encountered any problems yet besides people DBing and stuff. I hope I can get to the point where I can have them all nicely leveled up in a couple months... but damn how do u get 20+ running??? My computer already slows at 4.

[nuberamous]

it doesn't seem to drain my pc that much, I just have to restart the bots like once every 2-3 days to clear out my memory drain it causes =D. But besides that all I run is a 2.4ghz quad core duo with 2 gigs of ram with the bots running in the 20+ diff wxstart screens. works fine, and the quad core with ram altogether only costs about $300 or less to make now adays also =). I even reduced my internet connection speed recently to the 1.5mb service to, which with my ISP that is actually like a 5mb line (which is still crappy but does the job) since that much bots also drained the use of my pc for other things =P.

I'm just wondering how exactly you set that up. Each login requires it's own config file, so do you just have the whole openkore program copied 20 times with a different login for each one, or have you figureed out a way to do it without duplicating that whole program.

I'd just like to run them in the least cluttered way possible.




I ask because I want to set up farmers so I can get the cards I need for my Ninja... and because if you can run that many bots with that processor and 2GB's of ram, I'd should able to run 3-4 times that many and it would definitely reduce the amount of time I need to wait to get those cards.

Bleh. I actually got IP banned 2 times, one time 2 or 3 years ago and most recently 1.5 month ago on iRO Loki, all accounts I logged onto within that day was banned including my friend's account which i only logged once to make pots, didn't transfer shit from/to my account. I couldn't access iro website or log into the game either untill my router renew IP.
Funny thing is they left the account holding all my botted goods which i always direct-traded my bots alone.

same here..
I started the topic before I actually made any accounts or characters on this server and now I have an army...
I too run a lot of bots and don't have problem of slowing down..

Yet, I remember those days when I was playing India-RO and used to put around 32-25 bots and my PC would take almost a minute to show a mouse movement on the screen... I used to just start them and go play siege at a game zone near my place
